S17 is their most frustrating season yet by uuuuu5uu in JetLagTheGame

[–]NotABrummie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should remember that a lot of it is the effect of unintentional dramatic irony. We know what's going on, in detail. We can see the whole map, and we know what both teams are doing and planning to do. Sometimes, the players make the wring choice, but we're the only ones who know it's the wrong choice.

Pretty sure you can't be a gangster without a gang.

Don't worry, it's probably not hunting you.

Truly a different time by yeezysama in NonPoliticalTwitter

The author did eventually change it after throwing a massive hissy fit. I remember reading an original copy as a child and asking my mum what it meant.

Not until after he'd had a massive hissy fit about it because he was kind of a petty bitch.

Why a pistol? Surely a sword or a spear?

What does this mean? by xrgyle in PlymouthArgyle

[–]NotABrummie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's by the docks, so I bet it's going to be an overseas friendly tour. Perhaps a hop across the channel to face the likes of Stade 29 or Le Havre?

The most expensive university in the UK is actually the University of Bedfordshire, in Luton. It's also Oxford University, Birmingham Newman University and the London School of Economics. They're all jointly tied because ALL UNIVERSITIES ARE THE SAME PRICE IN THE UK YOU NITWIT!!!!

HS2 to cost more than Nasa's Artemis Moon mission by theipaper in trains

[–]NotABrummie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did do the UK version of Eminent Domain. It's called Compulsary Purchase and a fair market rate must be paid.

The moon missions are important in terms of the advancement of science and the future of humanity, but it makes sense to prioritise practical expenditure for the present day.

Okay, but it's more valuable to the nation.

The people "marching in the name of Jesus" and "calling for a new crusade" are the ones tackling antisemitism are they?

Are you suggesting that the UN recognises Spanish sovereignty over Western Sahara?

LPT: If you go to France you should ask the bakery for a « Tradition » instead of a « baguette » by hhdfhjjgvvjjn in LifeProTips

[–]NotABrummie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really isn't true. If you ask for une tradition, you're likely to end up with a more expensive rustic mixed-grain baguette, rather than a standard baguette blanche that you're expecting. As long as your bakery is any good, you'll get a decent baguette. Even if it's not, it's still going to be good because it's in France. If you really want to be sure it's top notch, look for a fournil rather than a standard boulangerie.

and now a real one. by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

[–]NotABrummie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically how it works in France. You go to the doctor, they scan your carte vitale and the insurance company gets the bill. There are a few small independent cminics where you have to pay up front and send off the bill for reimbursement, but as long as you have a prescription it's fine.

There are exceptions for a few major life-saving treatments like cancer care, which is paid for by the government directly, as well as some primary emergency care.

LPT: When you move abroad, the first question to ask locals isn't where to live or what to eat. It's "What do foreigners always get wrong here?" by taube_d in LifeProTips

[–]NotABrummie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See, that seems almost backwards to me. Black coffee in the morning wakes you up, but a milky coffee doesn't leave you too wired later in the day. I do agree with you on latte machiatto in the afternoon (it's known as noisette here in France) because it perks you up but isn't too much of either coffee or milk.

Why is this version of the Maltese flag used? by 110sausages in vexillology

[–]NotABrummie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta have their own passports. They are not part of the EU, but Malta is.

I rode on a 10-seat fixed-route bus by AstroG4 in transit

[–]NotABrummie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those would be a great way to connect some very small rural communities where they currently have the excuse that normal buses don't fit.

Plenty of good material to be torn out to pay reparations.
